The Fruit to Root tool is vital in Kaleo for uncovering unbelief that leads to sin and fostering true belief in God, thereby manifesting the fruits of the Spirit in our lives. As disciples of Jesus, we aim to live fully in alignment with Him, reflecting the Good News in all aspects of our lives. This process involves examining our beliefs since true faith leads to action, and any disconnect between our actions and professed beliefs points to a root of unbelief.

Unbelief manifests as bad fruit (sin) in our lives, stemming from lies we believe about God. The Bible teaches that Satan, the father of lies, aims to deceive us and keep us enslaved to sin. Addressing sin at its root, rather than just its external behaviors, is crucial for transformation. Jesus emphasized that what defiles us comes from within, so identifying and confessing the lies we believe about God allows us to repent and turn towards true belief.

The process of repentance using the Fruit to Root tool involves recognizing the bad fruit in our lives, understanding who we falsely believe God to be, and acknowledging the impact of these beliefs on our identity and actions. Confession is the first step, where we admit our wrong beliefs about God and their resultant sins. This leads to repentance, turning away from our false beliefs and toward God's truth. Profession of faith follows, where we affirm who God truly is, what He has done, and our true identity in Christ.

By consistently applying the Fruit to Root tool, we move from managing sin at the surface level to deep, transformative change rooted in the gospel. This ongoing process of repentance and belief leads to the manifestation of the fruits of the Spirit and sanctification in Christ. Writing down truth statements that counter unbelief helps reinforce this transformation, ensuring that the gospel becomes the lens through which we see life and the truth that guides our actions.
